As long as we're comparing pears to tangerines, so does my dockstar that cost not much more than that over a year ago. The N810 however lives comfortably in my pocket and lets me deal with email, IM and ssh on the go so it wins by default ;-)

Depends on what the point of webOS is. To be a web-tech-friendly Linux base (in which case Qt makes a lot of sense),
It's much more GNU/Linux-y than Android for sure, but it was never meant to be a generic Linux platform. For running web apps along with Qt (and whatever else) ones it would make more sense to port Enyo to another Linux distribution than trying to make Qt apps coexist under the webOS UI which is more or less (ok, I'm oversimplifying a bit) a glorified web page running in a full-screen browser window.

or just a vehicle for web apps (in which case it's no better than Tizen).
Oh, it's better than Tizen simply by virtue of actually existing :-)
